Just wanted to check if you have verified this scenario:

If ima_policy_flag is 0, the in-memory ima policy data is not yet 
initialized. In this case calling ima_get_action() will cause kernel 
panic (NULL exception).

Please verify the above issue doesn't exist if the caller passes 
non-NULL digest and ima_policy_flag is 0 (ima policy is not initialized).
